‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: TARDIS spotted in Farmville!
Zynga’s been teasing its new English farms for ages, and now the farms are finally here. I was able to start mine yesterday… and what do I find as a decoration alloted to me? A police box!
The Eagle (review)
Lunkhead Channing Tatum as a soldier in Roman-era Britain? Must be processed Hollywood cheese, and hence hootingly entertaining, right? But Tatum acquits himself admirably here, in a film that clearly intends to ensure Hollywood cheese is the last thing that comes to mind…

trailer break: ‘Captain America: The First Avenger’
Oh my god, what did they do to Chris Evans to make him look so scrawny? Please tell me that’s CGI… (It’s okay: I know it’s CGI.)
question of the day: How does the news of celebrity deaths affect you?
I have to be honest and confess that when the news of Elizabeth Taylor’s death broke yesterday, the first thing I thought was, She was still alive? I thought the same thing when Jane Russell died earlier this month…
watch it: “How District 9 Should Have Ended”
